.item.item-trns {
border-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
/* Permalink - use to edit and share this gradient: http://colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/#ffffff+0,ffffff+56,cc3333+100&0.8+0,0.07+100 */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(255,255,255,0.8) 0%, rgba(255,255,255,0.39) 56%, rgba(204,51,51,0.07) 100%); /* FF3.6-15 */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(255,255,255,0.8) 0%,rgba(255,255,255,0.39) 56%,rgba(204,51,51,0.07) 100%); /* Chrome10-25,Safari5.1-6 */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(255,255,255,0.8) 0%,rgba(255,255,255,0.39) 56%,rgba(204,51,51,0.07) 100%); /* W3C, IE10+, FF16+, Chrome26+, Opera12+, Safari7+ */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#ccffffff', endColorstr='#12cc3333',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */

<div class="feed_post_area item item-trns">
.......
</div>
<div class="bottom-bar"> </div>
